[Pkg-net-snmp-devel] Bug#786887: snmpd: Unknown payload OID

[Tobias Blass]

Package: snmpd
Version: 5.4.3~dfsg-2.8+deb7u1
Severity: important

On startup, snmpd generates a long list of errors (see below). This happens with the default configuration (i.e. purging and reinstalling snmpd and snmp does not help).

There is a similar (or maybe identical) bug here
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=605769
However, the proposed solution does not work. Even after downloading the non-free MIBS (using snmp-mibs-downloader), the error still remains.

Note: line 143 is the "defaultMonitors yes" line.
